Mosterpocalypse Series 1: Rise Starter Set

Description

Monsterpocalypse
brings the kaiju (giant monster) genre to the tabletop in the form of an exciting and highly strategic war game.
Designed by
Matt Wilson (I)
, the award winning creator of
Warmachine
and
Hordes
,
Monsterpocalypse
utilises the critically acclaimed abilities of
Privateer Press
as a leading miniatures manufacturer to enter a new category of product with a property that will appeal to a world-wide fan base of all ages.
The players take the role of different factions (dinosaurs, robots, aliens, monsters and so on) fighting with one large (Godzilla size) creature combined with a steady flow of smaller units to support it. The battlefield is a cityscape (poster map) with building models integral to the game's strategy and gameplay. The game uses dice pools of custom dice that are used for both attacking and taking actions, leading to an ebb and flow between monster and unit turns. The goal for both players is to eliminate the monster on the opposing side.
Monsterpocalypse
launched as a CMG in Fall 2008 with the 'Rise' block which consisted of a base set ('Rise') and two expansion sets ('I Chomp NY' and 'All Your Base'), both of which were released in 2009. This is one of the "Rise" boxes.
Each set contains large-scale monsters, as well as smaller support units and interactive buildings.
